I just loved the colors in this one (also from the Norfolk Harborfest).

I felt overwhelmingly sad today and I apologize to the one that had to hear most of it...you know wholoo you are. I'm not one to complain usually, guess it was just one of those days. Still not feeling much better, either. If I hadn't just got back from a vacation, I'd think it's a vacation I need, but that's not it. If I stopped and thought about it and whatnot, I'd say I'm feeling a sense of aloneness (is that a word?), essentially self imposed. Usually I like being alone, in fact, I crave it...but this is a different kind of alone...it's a separation, a standing apart.

I read blogs about people and their families and their significant others ... and I want that for me, altho I know it'll not happen. Had my chance, more than once and passed it on by. Or...maybe it didn't work out cause I'm basically unloveable, I'm not pretty enough for someone to love. Who knows?

Please don't think I'm looking for attention by writing this post...if you knew me at all, you'd know that's not the case. I'm just talking about how I feel because I thought maybe by talking about it, I'd get it out of my system.

Maybe a nice vodka tonic would help. It'd sure go a long ways toward forgetting about the spider I found on me tonight while I was walking Wolf. EEK!

Sorry to hear you're having one of those days. Not sure what to say that will make you feel better since when I'm in one of those moods, that doesn't really help. Either way, hope tomorrow is a funk-less day.

What incredible colors. I'm sorry you're having one of those days. I hope that you tomorrow is better. :)

I'm sorry you are feeling so blah...I had no idea that you felt this way yesterday. I do hate it when you put yourself down though because it's so not true..you just don't realize it. Trust me..i don't say things that aren't true. Look on the Brightside..It's Friday and the Weekend is just around the corner!

As for the fireworks picture...its beautiful! Is this the one you mentioned before? I'm sorry I just haven't had a chance to go through your flickr pictures :(

I've been feeling blue too. Must be in the air.
Personally, I think it's getting close to your birthday and you're missing your Mum. She always made a big deal out of your birthday and lets face it, your Dad can't and your brother won't.
Hugs!!!!!

Well, I think Maribeth is right. Any of those special days after someone dies are harder. After all your Mom was there when you entered this world. Sometimes you know it and other times it sneaks up and bites you hard in the butt.
By the way dear cuz, you are Loveable and you are pretty enough to be loved! Sometimes it just takes being in a certian time and place for things to happen and you're not there yet. Love Ya!

and here I thought you were just missing the hell outta me. Well you know you are already(not by your choice I'm sure) part of my nutso family.

May I suggest that it's the post-vacation blues? I've been really down since I returned from my trip. You just realize how nice it is to be away, but then you come back and you're like "ick".

Regardless, never say "never". You gotta have hope. If it's something you want, go get it, girl!

Note to self. Take own advice. :)

Vodka tonic should be on the menu.

Im sorry your feeling bad.....I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom to make you feel better or to help you achieve what you are searching for.

Please dont sell yourself short....you never know whats around the next corner

Always here to talk if you need to...

EEEEUUUUU On the spider (there was one on my while driving to work today - ya I freaked!)

YAY on the vodka/tonic!

I'm sorry you're feeling down, but seriously, quit it with that unlovable shit! And trust me, being pretty guarantees you nothing. As a matter of fact, I would prefer to be appreciated for the beauty inside of me instead of what's on the outside.

The grass is always greener... and tomorrow is another day.

xo

*smack*

you are pretty and lovable but sometimes your a freekin PITA.

likewise im sure

Blue periods suck. You are loveable and prettier than you ever ever give yourself credit for but more important than any of that (at least to me) is that you are an amzing friend *even though you won't blow off work to come play*. Rock on it's your birthday week!

You know, even married people and people with families get feelings of "aloneness" you describe. However, it is a bit of a different feeling when one is single. Hope you are feeling better by now. You are so lovable, and pretty. (((hug)))
